Re: Won a trip to vegas. They say I can\'t go...

[ QUOTE ] [ QUOTE ] [ QUOTE ] The tournament is in a private hall, not in a casino. [/ QUOTE ] All casinos are considered private property in Vegas. So even if the tournament was in the middle of the casino floor, technically, it is in a private hall. The law in regards to 21+ to play remains. [/ QUOTE ] I don't think they give any money out there. So it's as though we're playing for fun and I think that's legal? [/ QUOTE ] That's what I was thinking. I don't think an offshore casino would obtain or even be able to obtain a license to operate a tournament if it wasn't just for "fun" [/ QUOTE ] I can not imagine a site going through the trouble of putting on a tourney (and flying people out to it) that was played "just for fun." That make no sense. Who would even bother playing in a "just for fun" tourney in Vegas? It's not like money games are hard to come by in Vegas. The site would not need a gambling license. Any poker room is Vegas would be willing to host/run a private tourney...for the right price. I've played in a few of these (private tournies hosted by a casino) myself.

Re: If you were in my situation...
Calling the guy an "idiot" is never a good move and just makes you look immature.
I would just take the money...Vegas isn't going to be much fun if you're not 21 anyway. Its a blessing in disguise.

Re: Won a trip to vegas. They say I can\'t go...
This just keeps getting stranger and stranger. First there's this:
[ QUOTE ] The pit boss told me, in the T&C Sorry number 10 Players at the casino must be over the legal age of majority, meaning that the player must be an adult with full contractual capacity or a "major" as that term is legally defined in the country in which the player is resident." [/ QUOTE ] What pit boss? Is this online or in a b&m card room? What does "Sorry number 10 Players" mean? Is your screen name "number 10" and he missed some punctuation? Is your screen name "number" and exactly, or at least, 10 players at the casino must be over the legal age of majority, and the rest can be minors? I've read tons of legal boilerplate, and I've never heard the term "major" used as the opposite of "minor." Maybe it is, but I've never seen it. There's also a difference between being of an age to have full contractual capacity in the player's home country, and being old enough to gamble, drink, or as one poster noted, sign for a hotel room in a Nevada hotel that has a casino. Again, until you post the name of the site so we can look at the T&C, you'll never get an accurate answer. But assuming you are absolutely correct, and their T&C mentions nothing about age, then yes, you might be able squeeze more than $1K out of them. Good luck with that.

I was very nice about the whole ordeal, as was he.

[/ QUOTE ] In the T&C it says Number 10  like number 10 on the list)Here is the specific thing from the T&C Players at the casino (referring to online fortune lounge casino, not a casino in Vegas) must be over the legal age of majority, meaning that the player must be an adult with full contractual capacity or a "major" as that term is legally defined in the country in which the player is resident. I discussed this with him a few days before when he invited me to the tournament where the prize was the trip, which I won. He said it is legal to play at 18 if it's legal in my country. In canada, you can gamble at 18 (can't go to casinos because alcohol is served there). He said it was fine for me to participate in the promotion as I am legally able to gamble over the internet in my country. [/ QUOTE ]

Re: Won a trip to vegas. They say I can\'t go...
I'm Canadian, and over 21 - give the trip to me! I'll give you 75% of what I win (um, what's 25% of busto?). I'll also try to tell you the stories of the hookers and blow, so that it'll feel as if you went. Deal?

I'm in Canada it's legal and they never had a problem with it before when I was giving them tons of rake. So now they are offering me a full $1000 to shut me up. Do I take it? Ask for more? Demand they send me? Or rally something on 2+2? [/ QUOTE ] [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]
